4 Claims.

Our invention relates to points or arrow heads and has for its object toprovide a new and high: ly eificient arrow head or point for huntingpurposes.

A further object is to provide a simplified, economically constructedarrow head which due to its specific form will minimize and prevent anyplaning or air current deflection and will be more accurate to shoot andat the same time more deadly when it strikes the game. This type ofpoint or head may also become a great beneficial factor in targetshooting due to the fact that its dihedral form so cuts the air thatgreater accuracy can be obtained than with any other type of arrow headnow in use.

A still further object is to provide an arrow head which will havegreater penetrating qualities and which when passing through flesh willcutaway four strips of flesh in such a form that it will be impossiblefor the surrounding flesh around the wound to close over and stophemorrhage, thus any hit in the body of an animal will be a sure kill,which will be of great benefit to wildlife conservation as there will beno injured animals such as deer to get away from the hunter and diewithout anyone finding them.

A still further object is to provide an arrow head which will be made oftwo identical pieces of material adhered together by suitable means toform the finished head.

These and many other objects we accomplish with the device illustratedin the accompanying drawing in which similar numerals and letters ofreference indicate like parts throughout the several views and asdescribed in the specification forming a part of this application andpointed out in the appended claims.

In'the drawing in which we have shown our arrow head,

Figure 1 is a side view thereof;

Figure 2 is a face view of Figure 1 Figure 3 is an end View of the headlooking at it from the end in which the shaft is inserted.

Figure 4 is a view of one-half of the head showing that face againstwhich the other half abuts when they are secured together to make thefinished head.

Figure 5 illustrates the shape of the hole left after the arrow haspassed through the animal or target.

In the drawing we have shown our head as A, the arrow shaft being shownas B, with the main body thereof cut away. As this head may be used withany kind of shaft and feathering we have shown only the head. The head Ais made of two identical halves, 5 and 6. Each half is alike andconsists of a pointed strip or blank of metal pressed and formed so thatthe two edges are bent to form parallel tapered sidewalls or fianges'8and 9, converging at a point 1, I

and medially of the head there is a tapered groove [0 into which the endof the arrow shaft fits when the arrow head is formed by the two halvesand mounted on the shaft. The fiat surfaces ll and I2 between theflanges 8 and 9 and the tapered groove Ii] areabutted together when thetwo halves are finished and secured together by suitable means such asspot welding, or other suitable means. Should some other means ofsecuring be preferred in case the head is made of a suitable materialfor such method we feel that these should be within the spirit of ourinvention and the scope of our appended claims. When the two halves arestamped out they will be set in a suitable frame and welded so that thefiat surfaces H and I2 of one half engage the like surface of the otherhalf thus forming the finished head which when so finished has two outertapered and-pointed flat surfaces 14 and i5 spaced apart by a centralweb l6 and l! and .the central conical tapered bore l8. The webs l6 andI! made by the flat surfaces H and I2 when they are secured face toface.

In Figure '3 small letters, a b, c. and d illustrate the tapered grooveswhich are filled with flesh when the arrow is shot into an' animal andthe shape of the hole left is that shown in Fi ure 5.

Having thus described our invention we desire to secure by LettersPatentand claim:

1. 'An arrow head having a tapered shaft bore and having four cuttingedges tapering from the rear to a common striking point having twoopposed fiat surfaces spaced by central webs extending out from thetapered bore.

2. An arrow head comprising a tapered bore,

tapered flat plane surfaces tapering toward a common striking point, ondiametrically opposite sides of said bore, and webs supporting the flatsurfaces and spacing their rear broad end from the bore.

3. An arrow head comprising a tapered bore; tapering webs extending fromthe bore; and tapered flat surfaces at right angles to said webs withtheir striking point spaced ahead of the point of the bore.

4. An arrow head composed of like halves formed with a tapered groovemedially of each half and tapered flanges spaced from each side of thegroove area by tapered fiat surfaces, said halves being secured togetherwith the flat surfaces abutting to form a head with opposed taperedplane surfaces on two of its four sides.
